I worked for mini/bmw for 5 months this summer
The quality of them is like a crisp packet, rattle, cheap, and not great.
I worked in the service department so did only deal with broke one's but they were always breaking down, temp sensors and dsc units are common as hell....along with the exhaust's rotting like there in salt water.
The engines pull well but as does every other 1.6 supercharged hot hatch.
I couldn't believe how crap they were, I was driving brand new loan car coopers and the window regs were squealing lights coming on the dash and even missfires on the one witch had done 72 miles when I drove it!
I wouldn't want my name on any log book with a bmw mini in sight, I'd rather own half the ed30..
That's truth! They were terrible!
Go have a good look around one that's been used, they are cheap and tacky and lets still not forget it is still a women's car..that was the best bit about working there! Young girls drive them!
